GGW vs MIW Match Preview
Beth Mooney, who was absent for the entire previous season due to an injury sustained in the first match, is poised to make a comeback as the captain of the Gujarat Giants. She will partner with Laura Woolvardt as the opening batsman. The team has also recruited Phoebe Litchfield, who showcased impressive performances during Australia's recent tour of India.
Furthermore, the team is expected to include all-rounders Sneh Rana, Harleen Deol, and Ashleigh Gardner. These players not only enhance the team's batting depth but also offer valuable bowling options. However, when it comes to bowling, the team lacks specialized bowlers.
Lea Tahuhu will spearhead the pace attack, but there is a shortage of domestic options to complement her. This could potentially be a weak point in an otherwise formidable squad.
The Mumbai Indians possess an undoubtedly formidable batting lineup and will strive to accumulate a significant number of runs. Hayley Matthews and Yastika Bhatia will commence the batting innings. Bhatia showcased exceptional form in the previous match by scoring a half-century, setting the stage for a successful pursuit against Delhi.
Harmanpreet Kaur, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Amelia Kerr form a robust middle order, while Pooja Vastrakar and S Sajana will fulfill the role of finishers. In the last match, Shabnim Ismail demonstrated excellent accuracy and length in her bowling, also claiming a wicket.
She will spearhead the pace attack alongside Sciver-Brunt and Pooja Vastrakar, while Saika Ishaque, Amelia Kerr, and Matthews contribute as the team's three quality spinners.
Weather Report
The weather will be a bit warm and humid and we might have some dew during the second half.
Pitch Report
The pitch at Bangalore is good to bat on and we can expect plenty of runs to be scored. The boundaries aren’t the biggest and the outfield is quick too, allowing the batters to score freely. The team batting first will look to get as close to the 200-run mark as possible.
Notable stats
Harleen Deol: Quality All ROunder
Harleen Deol is a consistent performer in the middle order. She scored 202 runs for the Gujarat Giants last season at an average of 28.85 and a strike rate of 125.46.
Team News
There are no updates regarding injuries from either side.
